To all to have it may concern:

Be it known that l, Alfonse" J. Knoneon, a citizen of the United States, and u resident of Jew York, in the county oi New York end State of New York, have invented. new and useful Improvements in Genereting liystcrns for Electric Currents, oi which the.

wiring is u specification. iss invention relates to, systems and up urns for generating high frequency else-- tricul currents.

ne o ect or" the invention is to provide nent of electric circuits and elehiuli .-cquency.

Another object of the invention is to proto re the trequenc of an oscillating current.

A still further object of this invention is 'idc suitable circuits and apparatus dieing the generated oscillating curfrom the apparatus.

Lil-* parts are represented by similar chur." of throughout t 19 speck an .1 in the drawings in which:

is a. diagrammatic view. showing ynenio in combination with electric .nd elements for this purpose. Fig. 5 e. diagrammatic View or" e. modified on re werncnt of electric circuits and apparatus.

a n a Fig. 3 shows it diagrammatic View of electric circuits and elements in combination with a.

field dynemo generator. Fig. 4 is e. diagrammatic view of a modified. arrangement of electric circuits and apparatus.

in l, i represents an anneture and 2 e idof a dynamo, having low inductance nun. m'eferablv a laminated field end armature." The connections between field 2 and armature 1 are reversed so that the armature will not generate a current or excite its field numeral 3 represents another currcntgenerntor, f5. dynamo, battery or any iitnble source of electrical current. However, the current from both generators is assinned alike, either direct current or alternuting current and it the letter, means are pieruled, such as direct coupling 24 to synchronize both rl vnuinos. 4: is an impedance coil aving higher resistance and impedance than field it the tension of the electric current of generator 3 is equal or higher than that of armature 1. 5 and 6 are other .impedunces, resistance or inductance coils, the use of one or the other being determined by *nble electric circuits and apparatus experiment, depending upon the frequency of the current to be nroduced. 7 is en inductuncc and 8 u conucnser. An oscillation circuit comprising an inductance 3 and a condenser 10 may be employed or omitted, as desired end it secondary 11 or another suitable arrangement serves to utilize the generated current for any desired purpose, as for instance for electric radiation by an antenna 12. Av transmitting device which may be a switch 21, u telegraph key 22, or e telephone transmitter 13 is inserted in any of the circuits. convenient or desired. instead of the radiating circuit at 11, Il may emplo any other part of the circuit for utilizing generated current, as a transformer zit id for instance.

in l have shown the generator 3 omitted in the continuous operation of generutor 1, however, it may be used for startin; it current generation of generator 1 or to vary the current by a transmitting" in striunent 13. An inductance coil 7 serves to complete the circuit of armature 1 and held 2 ot the generator. I have further indicated a transmitter 13 at various points by the op )osing currents from 1 and 3 alterv nutely. tuitable choke coils, and impedences 5 and 6 or condensers 8 prevent a detrimental rise of the current between the short circuiting generators 1 and 3.

In Fig. 4c, the held 2 of the generator will be controlled by an additional coil 16, which is connected. to a battery 17 and a trans.- mitting instrument l3, permitting a variation of the generated currents'as convenient or desired.

The operation of the device is as follows: The armature 1 of the dynamo generates a current which. is opposed to its field magnetism, for the reason, that it the connections between field and armature of a. common direct current dynamo, for instance are reversed, it will not be able to build up a current. F or the purpose of generating e current in armature 1, I employ another source of current as that of generator 3. Thence an increasing: current in armature 1 diminishes its field magnetism, for the reason that it is opposed to current from generator 3 which created. it. Further, the

, preventing an equalizing generating of curcharging versed d rection upon desirable impedances rent by armature l and generator 3 upon'the field and thus, a continuously oscillating current is produced in said circuits. It Wlll be noted that currents of different character will be produced at different parts of the circuit, according to the fluctuation of the current. VJhile at i and 5 it may slightly fluctuate, it will have wave character of positive or negative value at fi'and nearby and also in the field, or the current may completely alternate at 9.
